Speech Title: The Implications of Generational Differences for Teaching. Teachers, Do you Know Who You Are Working with? Abstract: Education has undergone radical and unprecedented change in the last 20 years. The purpose of this presentation is to examine personality and motivational factors, and to determine whether there are differences between generations of students over the past 20 years. The concept of "digital natives" and related terms is emphasized. As teachers we need to understand generational differences and it is mandatory to take care of them in teaching. A brief presentation of the specifics of these generations is made and the requirements of the current generation, the alpha generation, are emphasized. A series of questions and answers are presented to help the teacher understand this generation and communicate more easily with it. In the context of such students, what should pedagogy look like for the next generation? How the teacher should proceed to achieve school performance. These are questions to which the presentation proposes a series of answers.

Speech Title: Supporting Early Years Dyslexic Children with Mobile Assistive Technology: Comparison between Malaysia and Japan Abstract: Dyslexia is the most common learning disability that affects one’s ability to read and write. Many interventions methods are currently in use, however more studies need to be done to determine which interventions work best. Not much have been explored in previous studies regarding the implementation of tactile letters as multisensory approach together with the mobile application. There is a gap in combining both intervention approach to support dyslexic children. Therefore, this research is intended to add value to the knowledge and discovery of the framework for the combination of tactile letters with mobile application in teaching alphabet to dyslexic children. A qualitative approach is selected because the aim is to provide a rich picture of the experience of all involved during the study; teachers, parents and the dyslexic children in Malaysia and Japan. The expected output of the study is the establishment of the framework which includes content, activity and assessment regarding the integration of mobile learning and tactile letters which could also be the guidance for the special needs education. It is envisaged that the study will address the issues of inequalities among the disable people and parallel to the needs of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in integrating digital technologies.

Thus, identifying the faculty’s perceived course effectiveness factors is important since this has not been previously identified. The aim of this study is to examine the blended learning effectiveness from the faculty members’ perspectives. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of 35 items, distributed to a random sample of 54 faculty members of The Maldives National University (MNU). Pearson correlation and path analysis were computed to analyse the data. Supporting the hypothesis, the findings indicate that student, institutional and learning variables had significant influences on the effectiveness of blended learning strategy. The findings of this study help the instructional designers to plan effective blended courses. It also supports in formulating and revising of policies with regard to blended learning at MNU as the findings highlight the key variables that encourage the blended learning effectiveness.

Speech Title: Social Media Campaign: TNR in Indonesia as Part of Social Education Abstract: Indonesia, as one of the biggest island countries in the world, is facing problems caused by the huge number of stray/roaming cats and dogs. They roam around neighborhoods, damage properties, mess up trash, make loud noises, disturb people and they may spread diseases. This speech is focusing on the activities to control the number of stray cats' population in order to build a better life for people and cats, as part of Social Education for Societies. Descriptive qualitative method was used in the research, by observing, interviewing and describing the actions taken by a non-government organization, Let’s Adopt Indonesia (LAI). To conclude, one of the best ways in managing strays was by spaying/neutering. The trap-neuter-release program is one of LAI’s activities as a social community that has concern on the problem, and then has taken a real action to help the government overcome the problem caused by the stray cats and dogs in Indonesia, especially in the Greater Jakarta area. It was expected that the research could educate more people in Indonesia on how to handle or balance the number of strays, so it could become a friendly society for people and cats to live together peacefully.
